I was surprised that it was part of the Firearms Radio Network, what a bonus. lol I can't wait to listen to more episodes. I had lost half of my body weight a few years back. I went from 490 lbs to 245 lbs. I then had to have major back surgery and put 150 lbs back on because of stupidity and getting out of good habits. I now have half of that back off. I started eating healthy again back in July 2013 and have dropped 75 lbs. I also use My Fitness Pal and love it!   Again I look forward to listening to the show, I will be going backwards catching up on them in the next few weeks. I love to listen to podcast while I walk to work. Howie: Thanks so much for the kind words and all the feedback you've been sending on the show.  Congratulations on your progress and your re-commitment to your health!   Hearing your story is super helpful and your journey is a great one to share with folks.  Your commitment is very inspiring!  Stay the course with us here.  We can use all the support we can get and we'd love to have you in the mix.  Look forward to motivating each other.  - Carol TOUGH MUDDER: New Tough Mudder page! http://www.fat2fithq.com/mudrun/ Join TEAM FRN: The Gun Runners!

Welcome to the Fat2FitHQ podcast. I’m your host, Carol Salva and along with me are Hank Hockey and Devin Blystone of the Firearms Radio Network .   In this podcast we are chronicling our journeys from Fat to Fit.  We talk about pursuing a healthier lifestyle not only in diet, but in all areas of life. Topic:  Hank Hockey and Devin Blystone, from the FRN Network Hank Hockey Director of Sales at FRN and former CoHost of Gun Guy Radio: Skinny kid with high metabolism. Couldn’t gain weight to save my life...then 30 hit! REALLY want to start eating better overall. Not just me, but my family. Wife and two daughters, 13 and 11. Competitive dancers (one that has a super fast metabolism and one that has a very slow metabolism). The toughest part is getting everyone on the same page when their bodies require different amounts...trying to figure out what approach to start with. Having some physical ailments (tendon tears) that keep hanging me up and keeping me from starting to work out again, not to mention the extreme cold and snow that we’ve been having in Chicago that keeps us indoors a lot lately...did I mention that I make excuses for everything...you probably already figured that out! Hahahaha  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/GunguyHank Devin Blystone of Firearms Insider & Producer of Gun & Gear Podcast: Skinny kid, chubby teen, fat young adult by eating fast food and pizza rolls (especially when I figured out I could have bacon any time I wanted). Started hating that I all my friends were skinny. Asked my friend about zee gym he was going to. Convinced me to come try it after hanging out one day. Started going a lot. Listened to the owner(used to be a trainer at another gym). Started eating better. Plateaued around 230, just started track what I eat this past week. 285 when I started and now 225.75.  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/DevinBly Carol Salva of Fat2Fit HQ:  My story - chubby kid.  Chubby Adult.  But after kids, too much weight that wasn’t going anywhere.  I’ve starved myself, yo-yo dieting, tried quick-fix pills and such.  Finally, committed to losing the weight in 2009.  Over trained and super low calorie restriction got me way down (below a healthy weight) and then I couldn’t maintain it.  That is when I got obsessed.  Thankfully, the obsession has lead me to learn about myself and new ways of making healthy choices that don’t put weight on me.  Struggling with 10lbs of Christmas weight.  No time to exercise much lately.  Hoping “The Carb Nite Solution” will be the answer. From the Community: JackTJr NSNG! (No Sugars N Grains) When you feel like you need to snack; go for Protein or Fat (Fat - especially if your Fat adapted). GEARDad Cauliflower rice helps to curb the need for the evil white refined grain of death. GoodDaytoYou Sometimes I make an "obstacle course" before I leave for work. I use big post it's, stick them on the wall or with home equipment. This works well if I'm working late or I know motivation to really work out isn't gonna be there. I make many smaller tasks like "25 sit ups" or "50 squats" and space them between cooking and chores. Seeing them written up on the wall makes me want to do them and take the post it down, but then again I might be a tad OCD. lsutton484 i tell myself "get off your ass memories aren't made on the couch." Oh yeah go camping in the arctic eat around 3500 calories a day and still loose 3 pounds in 2 days. it may not be for everyone but i still have all my toes so i must have done ok. jeffhendershot No secrets. Just knowing that others are observing your commitment (diary, exercise routine,

Let them eat cake!  But timing when you eat that cake is everything according to physicist and author of The Carb Nite Solution, John Kiefer.  Listen in this week to learn some basics about how to use carbohydrates to your advantage.  Carol and Lisa pick his brain about what should be considered for the high-performance athlete, the average Joe and the middle aged mom just trying to get ready for bikini season. Welcome to the Fat2FitHQ podcast. I’m your host, Carol Salva and along with me is Lisa Jarmon of Middletown, Ohio and John Kiefer of Athlete io.  In this podcast we are chronicling our journeys from Fat to Fit.  We talk about pursuing a healthier lifestyle not only in diet, but in all areas of life. Topic:  John Kiefer Introduction:  John Kiefer has a Masters in Physics, a former career in software engineering, author of The Carb Nite® Solution and Carb Back-Loading, Manual for Total Body Fat Control.  He is also the host of a new podcast, Body io FM.  Kiefer combines the best of laboratory research with tried-and-true real-world knowledge to guide himself and those who seek his advice. You can find all his links at http://athlete.io/. Uncut video version of podcast:  http://youtu.be/nbpXYadZHsI Lisa’s questions: Do you believe leucine is an appropriate tool for those who have difficulty regaining a state of ketosis following their carb nite? Is there any benefit or risk to intermittent fasting (until perhaps lunchtime) on the days between carb nites? Is it problematic not to eat on the day after carb nite if not hungry? Is morning exercise in a fasted state advised or discouraged? When will the new podcasts begin? Carol’s questions: How did you discover this?  What lead you to this research? Can you explain the basic foundations of Carb Nite vs. Carb Backloading and why it works? Can you tell us how this is different for women… if it is? How important are heavy workouts for fat loss?  How do you feel about overall calories?

Jack Templin is a long time FRN listener.  Join us to hear how one podcast (Fat2Fit HQ - yay!)  lead to another, which lead to another, which lead to a 75 lb weight loss in one year. Welcome to the Fat2FitHQ podcast. We are your co-hosts, I am Jack Templin and along with me is Carol Salva, of the Firearms Radio Network.  In this podcast we are chronicling our journeys from Fat to Fit.  We talk about pursuing a healthier lifestyle not only in diet, but in all areas of life. Tip of the Week:   Instead of placing a chicken on a roasting rack, cut thick slices of onion, put them in an oiled pan, then place the chicken on top. The onion will absorb the chicken juices. After roasting, let the chicken rest while you make a sauce with the onions by adding a little stock or water to the pan and cooking it for about 3 minutes on high heat. - Mary in Cleveland Main Topic:  Jack Templin Married, 3 Daughters, job requires extensive travel ~60%+ of the time.  Battled weight since college with limited success.  Started most recent journey in March of 2013.  So far so good.
